351 Round Hill Road

Not content with demanding all my money for redistribution

My pal Claudette wants my time, too and keeps asking about this property. Once she put her glasses on and gave me the right address I thought I'd answered her question but now she reports that people seem to be moving in. Anything for a friend. So far as I know, it's still for sale, and there's no record of it ever having been offered for rent or rented - doesn't mean a bunch of poor folks haven't expropriated it in the name of the People, of course - just ask Dr. Zhivago about that. It came on two years ago, its price has ranged from as high as $7,275,000 to the current low of $6,450,000 (11% less). Two brokers, it's back now with the first. I suspect that its failure to sell is unrelated to the choice of broker.

Thanks Chris. Maybe I will post something positive about Sarah Palin today, just for you. oh damn, I couldn't think of anything.

Maybe one of your fellow brokers can comment on who is living in it.

Thanks again

Can you tell us who the builder/arch was?

Jay Haverson was both builder and architect, I believe. he's done some beautiful houses in town. To my taste, this isn't one of them (he originally had some God-awful triple cupula thing going on on the roof, since removed) but I did like most of the interior layout - it was my clients who didn't and since they were the ones with the money, their taste dictated the result: they moved on to another house. Your results may vary.

Hey Claudette - what, the Zhivago theory didn't satisfy your curiosity? Go around back and look for the hammer and sickle banner - that should do it.

I believe the people who moved in are the Haversons. They had this house and their house in Riverside on the market....and moved into the one which did not sell.
